How To Set The Bound Dataset Connection String While Installing Or Running ..?

Question

I am working on a Windows Forms application in which the database will be on a server in the LAN and client access the database.

My Problem is I use DataSet to bind data to controls in some forms. So the connection string is already saved in settings. So when I try to access those forms connection error is displayed.

Is there any solution so that I can use DataSets to bind data and the connection string to the server can be given in the client machine while installing or running the application?

Advance Thanks. Please Help.

Solution 2

Put your connection string in the app.config file and use it in the application. You can modify the app.config file (Your_Application_Name.config) on the client machine to change the connection string while deploying.
